Letter from the publisher Welcome to Springtime in Arizona!

W

Many of you have been in your new home for a few weeks while others are just now settling in. We want to help you transform your house into a home. Each of you have different visions for your new nest and the Welcome Home AZ advertisers are here to help.

Thank you to the thousands of you who have already used Welcome Home AZ companies to improve the value of your home.

Be sure to check out the feature article on page 32 for your home’s spring checklist. Excel Air Home Services, one of our featured advertisers, will clean your air ducts and your carpet, a springtime must-do! Let Dolphin Pools build you your dream pool, or remodel your existing one, and check out Patio Star for all of your outdoor furniture needs. All of our advertiser’s are offering amazing spring deals throughout this magazine, so don’t miss out!

Real Estate Update: 2011 was the 2nd best real estate sales year in Arizona history–over 101,000 home were purchased. The best news ... prices are up as well!

We have seen a $10,000 increase in the average price of homes since January of last year. As the inventory continues to decrease we will continue to see prices inch up. The good news for you is an even greater increase in the value of your home.

Fire Pits

• • • •

Custom designed fire tables, fire features & patio heaters No Ashes, No Embers, No Smoke Propane tank or natural gas options Sparkling crystals burn “green” and clean!

Custom fire pits that feature sand, stone or glass for the fire base are taking over the backyard patios and decks throughout the Valley, helping homeowners to extend their outdoor season throughout the cool Arizona winters, giving you the ability to have a real fire without smelling like smoke at the end of the evening.

Our fire pit tables and table top patio heaters are custom built in Mesa, AZ. All fire features operate with natural gas or propane, with standard propane tanks cleverly hidden or enclosed in a custom table. They are spectacular as a backyard center piece. Custom fire features around pools and landscaping let you extend your style outdoors. Virtually anything you can think of can be custom created. Visit our website for detailed information and to view examples of the work we create. Our team can even update and convert existing fire pits, fireplaces and features.

Homeowner hints

by Valorie Haywood

Springtime Checklist I

t may still be winter in some parts of the country, but in the wonderful state of Arizona, temperatures are already on the rise. We are in the midst of our spring-like season and that means a transition from winter to summer for your home. From sprucing up your lawn and garden to replacing the batteries in your safety devices, you can use the following “spring cleaning” tips as a guide to some TLC for your new home.

1. Revisit Your Roof. Our roof is often out of sight, out of mind, and we don’t always notice a problem until the leak is visible in our ceiling. By that time, it has gone too far for just a repair. Spring is the perfect time to check your roof and gutters for any damages that may have occurred over the winter months. Also, make sure and remove any debris that may have collected in your gutters, that causes clogging, which leads to foundation erosion, mold growth and a breeding ground for mosquitoes and termites.

2. Lurking Leaks. Check all outdoor hoses and pipes for leaks that may have formed over the winter. Inspect all indoor faucets and toilets for drips and leaks and clean mineral deposits from the shower head. If you keep up with minor repairs now, it will save you water and money in the long run.

3. Paint Pick-Me-Up. A fresh coat of paint, whether it be an interior accent wall or a refreshing exterior makeover, can be a welcome change for spring. Our advertiser, Arizona Painting Company, is a company worth checking out for painting services you can trust.

4. Seasonal Switch. Now is the time to replace all of your filters in your

HVAC unit and have your ducts inspected before turning on your air conditioner. Cleaning your air registers improves the efficiency of your AC system, which we all need with our smoldering summer temperatures.

Technicians specializing in HVAC systems are throughout our magazine, so don’t miss their specials on tune-ups.

5. Spring Sparkle. Window washing is one spring cleaning ritual everyone needs to do! The winter weather has left a grimy film on the exterior of your windows and dust has settled on the interior. If you don’t feel like tackling this monster of a chore yourself, check out Arizona’s Windows Plus, offering deals on window cleaning and much more.

6. Home Goods. Spring is a pleasant time of year to do home improvement projects, such as a kitchen remodel, adding closet organizers, or an addition to your backyard, such as a patio or pool. These add enjoyment and value to your home. Many of our advertisers specialize in these services so be sure and visit their websites and peruse creative ideas for your next project.

7. “Spring Cleaning” Extras. Your dryer’s venting system needs to be cleaned once a year. This will help keep your family safe as an average of 14,500 dryers catch on fire every year. The main culprit? The lint that collects in the dryer’s exhaust ducts. Another yearly to-do is changing the batteries in all smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure and test them as well to make sure they are all working properly.

Whether you have a newly built home or you have purchased a resale, the term “spring cleaning” encompasses something for everyone. Hopefully these tips helped you remember some spring must-dos that you may have forgotten!
